Christians Promote “Parliament Of The World’s Religions”

The Parliament of the World’s Religions has caused us considerable concern over recent years as it promotes interfaith activities and puts all religions on a ‘level playing field’.

The next Parliament of the World’s Religions will be held in Melbourne in December 2009.
In Melbourne today, Thursday 6 December, there is a ‘launch’ to promote the Parliament and start taking registrations.

Of particular concern is that some Christians are actively promoting the event as something that ‘real’ Christians should endorse. Yes, ‘real’ is the word used! With the quote marks!

The official “Christian Media Alert” encourages Christian radio to support and promote the event and says “Some 200 religious and spiritual leaders will stand side-by-side at the launch, from Christian bishops to Muslim imams, Jewish rabbis, Hindu priests, Buddhist teachers and more.”
This ‘Christian Media Alert’ named Tim Costello and Rowland Croucher as promoting this event.
More on this aspect below… First, what is the Parliament of the World’s Religions’? (more…)

Week 11 Of Revival In Melbourne, Australia – Holy Spirit Leads People Into Repentance, Intercession, Worship, Healings, Miracles And Holiness!

Dear Family and Friends in Christ,

Healing From DeafnessAll glory and honor to the King of kings and the Lord of lords! The Holy Spirit continues to lovingly lead us every night of the Revival into the awesome presence of almighty God! What is most wonderful, is that every night is so different! Over these last three evenings in Hallam (Melbourne), we saw the Lord help us focus much on repentance and prayer in the Body of Christ, as Pastors willingly cried unto our Holy God on behalf of the Church, Leadership, Government, and Nation. How our merciful Father in Heaven must be so pleased to hear personal confession of weaknesses with repentance from His leaders in public!

Healed From 10 Years Of Body Pains Froim AccidentThe much desired presence of God has emerged and remained through intense Ps Danny Ministeringintimate worship of our Bridegroom King Jesus, which lasts for hours! What a blessing to all as the youth led worship, an anointed keyboard player led worship (age 14), with a bass guitar player (age 18), lead guitar player (age 19), rhythm guitar player (age 17) and the drummer in his 20’s. The majority of the backup singers were 15 and 16 years old, intermingled with senior worshippers standing side by side. It is wonderful to see youth with such love and passion for their Lord, worshipping for hours, leading the people into His Throne Room, receiving the dew of Heaven. Many young people have been mightily touched by the power of God in this outpouring of the Holy Spirit and have being witnessing to their friends, family members, and in shopping malls, while laying hands on people to pray for them in the name of Jesus!

Top Olympic Athletes Say Their Faith Is More Important Than Medals

By Teresa Neumann

Olympic Games 2008“When I’m following Christ closely, there’s a contentment and satisfaction in my life that is far greater and longer-enduring than any good race I’ve ever run.”

(Beijing, China)—The Christian Post reports some of the world’s top athletes are letting it be known that their top priority, above winning a medal at the Olympics this year, is their relationship with Jesus Christ.

One example given is Olympic marathon runner Ryan Hall who said, “When I’m following Christ closely, there’s a contentment and satisfaction in my life that is far greater and longer-enduring than any good race I’ve ever run.” (more…)

A Loaves-And-Fishes Miracle In Cairo

By Teresa Neumann

“I am fully convinced that this was a supernatural occurrence. It is something I have believed to see in my ministry and am overjoyed that it happened. It happened in such a way that [my ministry] was not at all associated with it, which left local volunteers and non-Christians marveling at what had happened.”

KFC Bucket(Cairo, Egypt)—Charisma reports that a “loaves and fishes” type miracle is said to have occurred during evangelist Marilyn Hickey’s recent trip to Cairo in which 2,400 meals from Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) apparently appeared out of thin air.

Notes the report: “The reported incident, which if true is a miracle nearly unheard of in modern times, occurred during Hickey’s citywide leaders conference in May, attended by nearly 10,000 pastors and local leaders—from curious Muslims to orthodox Coptic Christians.” (more…)

My stand On Catholicism – Pastor Danny Nalliah

Dear family in Christ,

Pastor Danny NalliahRecently I have been asked by a number of believers where I stand in relation to the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope and Roman Catholic doctrine because of entries on the Catch the Fire website.

There are many Born Again believers in the Roman Catholic Church who are saved and going to Heaven, however, what I must clearly say is that they are NOT saved by following the doctrine, traditions and sacraments of Catholicism. Those who are saved, are saved by the grace of God through faith in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, nothing more and nothing less.

During World Youth Week, amongst the massive crowd I saw many, many Born Again God loving young people rejoicing together and also many others who were so hungry for more than this world can offer and seeking something. This gives me great hope that our prayers for revival are being answered, may these hungry young people find salvation in Jesus. (more…)

By Aimee Herd - CWN, CBN News

Children Praying In MyanmarEven Buddhists are beginning to open their hearts to the Gospel.

(Myanmar)—As the government and military in Myanmar (also known as Burma) is finally beginning to allow other countries, such as the United States, to provide relief and aid to the country’s cyclone victims, God has already been at work.

A CBN video shows orphans praying and praising God for protecting them during Cyclone Nargis’ devastation. They are just one of many stories of survival coming from the storm-ravaged area.

One woman shares how the Lord kept her home from being destroyed by a neighboring church, which had begun swaying in the overpowering winds at midnight. “I prayed to God to send His angels to protect us,” she said. “He gave me the verse in Nahum 1:7-‘The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble for those who trust in Him.’ I believe the angels stretched their big wings to keep the big church from falling in the direction of our house.” (more…)

The Biblical days recorded in the book of the Acts of the Apostles are being reflected in the here and now! Yes… the supernatural acts of the Holy Spirit are happening right now in the 21st century in our backyard in Melbourne!
